ABSTRACT:
A door closer used with a door frame and a door panel has a hold-open device for holding the closer in any full or intermediate door-open position. The door panel is free for some manual operation independently of the closer because of a lost-motion, rotary connection between the door frame and door panel. This involves a closer shaft having a thread therein or thereon engaged by a threaded member on the closer arm so that when the member and shaft rotate relative to each other, there is also relative axial translation between them. When the hold-open device is released from some set open position after some manual, door panel closing motion, the shaft revolves, causing some originally abutting but separated facing surfaces on the member and the shaft axially to approach each other and finally and again to abut, thus taking out the lost motion and causing the closer to move the door panel from substantially fully open or any intermediate open position into fully closed position.
